Google Streetview Camera Cars Continue Their US Invasion

As promised, here's our second gallery of Google Streetview camera car sightings from across the United States. The fleet of Chevy Cobalts (and others) is invading the U.S., fanning out across the country while they take their 360° pictures that will end up in Google's vast photo database of every highway and byway. Check out the gallery of cars below, where each is labeled with its location, and then take the jump after the gallery and see a US map with pushpins inserted, showing you where each of the Google Streetview camera cars has been spotted thus far.

Google Streetview Camera Car Invasion, a Call for More Photos

Send in your photos of Google Streetview camera cars to tips@gizmodo.com, and this Friday we'll have another gallery of your sightings across the USA. This time, in addition to the gallery, we'll place a marker on a United States map for each sighting, tracking the Google camera car invasion from coast to coast. Be sure to note the location where your pictures were taken, reduce their size to 800 pixels on any side, and please limit your submissions to three shots. [Last Week's Gallery]

Google Streetview Cars Rocking Ladybug2 Spherical Camera

We've noticed small red cameras up on the top of those Chevy Cobalt camera cars gathering pictures from coast to coast for Google Streetview, and now an astute tipster has shown us which cameras those are: the Ladybug2 by Point Grey Research. It's a spherical digital camera, and a tantalizing tidbit of information is that the thing shoots video at 30 frames per second, and with nice, big 1024x768 frames, too. More »

Immersive Media Hiring Camera Drivers, for Google Streetview?

A few of our commenters have mentioned how much fun it might be to drive one of those Google Streetview camera vehicles, and this just might be their big chance. Immersive Media, one of the companies associated with the data collection project for Google, is looking for a "GeoImmersive Data Producer" to get on the road and grab a few million 360° pictures. Hey, if you're spending your days cruising around anyway, this might be a way to pick up a few bucks. Check out the details, after the jump.

Readers, Send In Your Google Camera Car Pics

Google has its eye on you? We're putting a few eyes right back on Google! After our tipster spotted that fleet of Google Streetview camera cars a couple of weeks ago, readers are starting to notice the cars cruising far and wide. In fact, reader Matt sent us the photo you see above that looks like it could be one of those Chevy Cobalt Streetview camera cars tooling down the street in Philadelphia. It's a little hard to see whether there is actually one of those 360° cameras up top, so we were hoping other readers might give us a better view. More »

Google Streetview Camera Car Fleet Set to Invade America

A camera-toting tipster saw what appeared to be a giant armada of Chevy Cobalt cars in the Google parking lot, getting ready to take pictures of the entire world (or thereabouts) with special 360° cameras. The tipster says he followed a Google camera van as it cruised back to its Mountain View, California, lair yesterday after that van finished a session of picture taking for Google's Streetview navigation site. Exactly what did he see?
